Upgrading the hard drive on a Powerbook 1.67 - Problems

I'm trying to install a 250Gig IDE drive into my Powerbook 1.67 but when I try to install OSX the disk can't be seen. When I put the old disk back in it works fine so it looks as though the new HD is not compatible. The disk is a Western Digital WD2500BEVE does anyone know why this might not work and what I should be looking for when buying a new drive?
